We joined Marianne Wine Estate to celebrate the unveiling of '95 (The Desirade 2015), created to honour Francois Pienaar. This was a spectacle of an evening. Upon arrival, we were led into Marianne's cellars to be greated by a harpist and a glass of their impeccable MCC. The intimate cellar meant making new friends was unavoidable and a chance to shake the hand of Francois made my father a jealous man indeed. "You're so tall" a guest exclaimed. "Thanks, but I was actually one of the smaller guys in the team" he replied with a smile. From there the evening only became better, with an exceptional performance by Paul Roos Choir. -Ed An incredible thank you to Marianne and Soline Lippe de Thoisy.
